You can use this for opening the PPT file in other app via Intent

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.fromFile(file));
intent.setType("application/pdf");
startActivity( intent );

Otherwise try with Aspose.Slides for Android

  • In your intent, type shouldn't be "application/ppt"? If not, why? – Sipka Jun 25 '14 at 07:59

    @Sipka you can find the Mime type of the file programmatically! see this [answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11068648/launching-an-intent-for-file-and-mime-type) – LOG_TAG Jun 25 '14 at 08:21
  • here is some MIME types list http://androidsbs.blogspot.in/2014/01/intent-settypestring-type-how-to-set.html – LOG_TAG Jun 25 '14 at 08:24
  • Thanks a lot guys...With using mime type we will open ppt with third party app(e.g. Adobe, Office suite)..Can we do somethig with parent app only? – Sonali Jun 25 '14 at 08:45
